I saw balls of fire ants

Worse than pepper balls?

[RegulatorCountry]

I'd say so, ever been stung by a fire ant at all, let alone... there?

With the Queen in the center of the ball!

Look out where they stop.

Undoubtedly.

The fire ant colony forms a ball - about the size of a beach ball - and kind of "rolls" along the water until it hits something to climb on and ride the flood out. I wouldn't want them to pick the same tree that I was holding on to.

I saw it on Nat Geographic, so it *must* be true....
